Quotation: Before Columbus By Cyrus H. Gordon

Page 68- To cite only a few of the many varied examples: (1) we know that in the Early Stone Age about 30,000 years ago, waves of primitive Mongoloids came to America across what is now the Bering Strait; -------Nearly all the coins are Roman , from the reign of Augustus to the fourth century A.D.; two of the coins, however, are Arabic of the eighth century A.D. .... A Moorish ship, perhaps from Spain or North Africa, seems to have crossed the Atlantic around A.D. 800 .. The Coimbra Map of A.D. 1424 shows parts of North America.


Subject: Native American Indian Cherokee MUSLIMS

Digging for the Red Roots My name is Mahir Abdal-Razzaaq El and I am a Cherokee Blackfoot American Indian who is Muslim. I am known as Eagle Sun Walker. I serve as a Pipe Carrier Warrior for the Northeastern Band of Cherokee Indians in New York City. There are other Muslims in our group. For the most part, not many people are aware of the Native American contact with Islam that began over one thousand years ago by some of the early Muslim travelers who visited us. Some of these Muslim travelers ended up living among our people. For most Muslims and non-Muslims of today, this type of information is unknown and has never been mentioned in any of the history books. There are many documents, treaties, legislation and resolutions that were passed between 1600s and 1800s that show that Muslims were in fact here and
were very active in the comunities in which they lived. Treaties such as Peace and Friendship that was signed on the Delaware River in the year 1787 bear the signatures of Abdel-Khak and Muhammad Ibn Abdullah. This treaty details our continued right to exist as a community in the areas of commerce, maritime shipping, current form of government at that time which was in accordance with Islam. According to a federal court case from the Continental Congress, we help put the breath of life in to the newly framed constitution. All of the documents are presently in the National Archives as well as the Library of Congress. If you have access to records in the state of South Carolina, read the Moors Sundry Act of 1790. In a future article, Inshallah, I will go in to more details about the various tribes, their languages; in which some are influenced by Arabic, Persian, Hebrew words. Almost all of the tribes vocabulary
include the word Allah. The traditional dress code for Indian women includes the kimah and long dresses. For men, standard fare is turbans and long tops that come down to the knees. If you were to look at any of the old books on Cherokee clothing up until the time of 1832, you will see the men wearing turbans and the women wearing long head coverings. The last Cherokee chief who had a Muslim name was Ramadhan Ibn Wati of the Cherokees in 1866. Cities across the United States and Canada bear names that are of Indian and Islamic derivation.
Have you ever wondered what the name Tallahassee means? It means that He Allah will deliver
you sometime in the future.

Sallam brother the above is some info which I have been able to find. If you require more info. Please visit the web sites Khilafah.com and Khilafah.org. Finally Allah swt tells us in many verses of the Quran how the Kaffir are always misrepresenting Islam as a system for life to the muslims and non-muslims, this is to ensure their dominance over the world through their ideology of Man made capitalism. Inshaallaah their days of leading the world are numbered and we will see the return of the Islamic khilafah soon Ameen.
